I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x140e (AMD A4-5000M 1.5GHz 2MB L2 Cache Quad-core, 4GB DDR3) that I am currently dual booting with Mint and Windows 8. Mint feels sluggish compared to Win8.

I am not doing much with it, I need to run the Spotify app, and a webpage for hosting game tournaments. I am using the HDMI out on the laptop to a 4x4 Matrix.

I am looking for suggestions for a lightweight as possible distro.
